my tips are :
1- if you don't like to select 2 points then use the weld tool , then shift-weld tool and drag from one point to another and it weld them (no selection ).
2-you want to bridge 2 raws of edges and the bridge tool can't do this ? then use the stitch and sew tool . if you drag one raw to another it will move the full raw and weld them (which is not good for most cases ) , so you have to shift-stitch and sew , and drag , it will create new geometry in between .
